GT: Renzo Aneröd: Dags att subventionera all sport!: 6 april

Om ett barn säger till sin arbetslösa mamma att hon eller han behöver tusen kronor för att börja i en idrott, eller om en tonåring skall satsa hela sitt studie-/barnbidrag för att gå på gym, är det åt helvete.

Som jag ser det finns det två alternativ: Antingen bygga ut de undermåliga gym som kommunen pliktskyldigast upprättat eller så får kommunen hosta fram pengar till dem som inte har råd att gå till de professionella privata ställena. Subventionera all sport alltså. För inte skall väl inkomsten styra vilken idrott man väljer?

Life Extension Magazine: Dietary Reference Intakes: Behind The Scare Stories: April

Detta låter väldigt likt den franska historien om kreatin som samma media tacksamt tog emot och vidarebefodrade. Nåja, det är sådant man får leva med.

At the beginning of this year, the Associated Press circulated a vitamin scare story that was picked up by numerous newspapers, magazines and TV stations across the country. The story reiterated some shocking but totally unsubstantiated claims, including a warning that “more than 1,000 milligrams a day of vitamin E-or 1,500 international units-could cause uncontrolled bleeding.”

Is there a relationship between a boy standing up for himself and psychopathology later in life? As most developmental experts point out, violence is not a natural or even common endpoint of aggression.

In fact, Jerome Kagan, a developmental psychologist at Harvard, has repeatedly demonstrated in 40 years of research on children that aggressiveness in a young child, properly modulated and socialized, leads to what he calls assertive competence — success — as an adult.

Parillo Performance: Fascial Stretch:

Frequent stretching raises the Golgi Tendon Organs (or GTO's), those body safety mechanisms that are in place to shut a muscle down whenever it is subjected to severe stretch or overload. By raising the threshold of the GTO's, an athlete can handle more weight on his exercises, and do more reps because the harder a muscle can stretch, the harder it can contract.

This translates into more intense workouts, more overload on the muscles, which leads to bigger and stronger muscles, better muscle shape and increased muscle separation.

(Cycling equals gentle exercise, apparently. Hello? Maybe in flat Holland, where the research was carried out, but not in central London, where you spend all your energy trying not to get killed.)

"Schwarzenegger has no one to blame but himself," Internet movie guru Harry Knowles (aint-it-cool-news.com) says. "The reason his last few movies haven't done well is very simple - they were bad.

Had he made 'Crusade' or 'I Am Legend' or 'With Wings of Eagles' (three films stuck in development), he would be fine right now. But he won't defer his salary; he wants his money up front. So instead of making movies that will save his career, he keeps grinding out substandard films so he can cash the big paychecks."

Body Results: Shin Splints: Occurrence and Prevention:

Det är säkert fler än webbmastern som känner igen denna brännande pumpkänsla i framsidan av underbenen/vid skenbenen vid snabb gång...

It's fairly common to feel something akin to "shin splints" when you go speed walking. The repetitive dorsiflexion (lifting of the toes) in order to avoid dragging your feet requires a lot from the anterior tibialis (muscles in the front of your shins.)

At rest, there is no problem, but as soon as you exercise briskly, the muscles in the front of the shins become engorged with blood, causing pressure within the fascial walls (tissues that house the working muscles) which in turn can cause tightness, numbness or muscle weakness when muscles and nerves are compressed within the compartment (hence the term "compartment syndrome.").

The fact that vitamin E alone was used in this study is an example of the "one drug" mentality that exists with conventional medicine today.

Glandular products are typically labeled as such (featuring the word "glandular"), and their labeling usually provides a listing of the specific organs included in the product. Far from wishing to obscure their glandular content, manufacturers promote these products on the basis of these ingredients.

Only a tiny proportion of products in the marketplace contain glandular ingredients. However, consumers who value these products can use them in confidence, because they are safeguarded by USDA and FDA enforcement actions that protect against the import or use of animal tissues from countries affected by BSE.

However, I would argue that men, simply for being men, are punished under this law for having more testosterone in their blood and being naturally more competitive than women.
